3. Regional Anesthesia

   JimandAmi replied to Little Fish's topic in CRNA

   I am a senior and have about 5 months to go. I have 55 epidurals, about 25 spinals, and somewhere around 15-20 peripheral nerve blocks (popliteal, femoral, sciatic, axillary and ankle, but no interscalene). I would guess that the numbers of my class...
